Description

Hadron therapy is a form of cancer therapy, where we aim to destroy those cancerous cells that are hard to reach with surgery. Since this kind of approach differs from the classical gamma radiation therapy, the tomography methods used for that are not sufficient enough for Hadron Therapy . Proton Computed Tomography (pCT) is developed to achieve more accurate results for this kind of treatment. During pCT a detector system measures incoming particles that are scattered on a phantom. My research is to be able to reconstruct the trajectories of these particles that went through the detector system. For this purpose I used machine learning algorithms to achieve high accuracy with not too high computational time.
